Is there a lot of 'teh dumb' about and is it catching? 'Cos I've got it. :)

Recently, I bound a sawtooth-edged table runner with double fold binding. This afternoon, as a reward for doing something I dislike immensely (darning jumper elbows) I thought I would sit, peacefully, and hand stitch the fold down, thus finishing said runner.

All went well until I came to the first internal corner. I absolutely cannot see how to fold the binding in a way that produces anything other than a huge, ugly lump. I Google-Fu'd. Consulted books (and I've plenty!) and even looked up the original pattern again, as I did at the time of binding, and come up blanker than a ream of new paper.

The answer must be simple and obvious. So blindingly obvious that I can't see it! lol J'sis pus êbahie! When I figure it out, you'll probably know. :)

À la préchaine!

'Timewatch' was back tonight. It was about sailing the archeologically accurate reconstruction of a 30m longship 'Sea Stallion' from Roskilde across the North sea to Dublin by way of the Hebrides. A journey of a thousand miles.

In a 90 minute programme we got about 3 seconds on how it was built. I'd already found the website for this voyage previously so little was new to me. I'd rather have had a film on how the original ship was excavated and the replica built in Roskilde but that's just me.
